Port will still struggle to win another game

Blues don't have the easiest run home either.

Collingwood aren't playing well but you just know they will lift next week. Doesn't matter where the Pies & Blues are on the ladder, it's usually a high intensity match and I'd consider it close to a coin toss.

Hawks the week after will trouble the Blues.

WCE in Perth in the penultimate round shouldn't cause the Blues much trouble... But you just never know. WCE beat us in the same round last year when finals were on the line.

Saints in the final round, another one you'd think the Blues SHOULD win but any Ross Lyon coached team is always capable of a scalp.

Blues have to win 2 of their remaining 4 to make finals. Yep, they're likely to achieve that, but if they only win two you can kiss their top four chances good bye. And then suddenly if we go 4-1 we'll finish ahead of them.

No reason why tonight's result can't be a good thing for us. Makes it harder for top eight, but it makes it easier for top four. Depends how you want to view it.

IF we won our last 4 Port may need to win 3 because of %

Pies are gonna be so up and about for Pendles' 400th game next week too.

Blues losing their next two would be massive.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Commentators really drumming up the sympathy for Carlton and their 5 day break.

Port played last Saturday night in the wet, but they are making it out like they had the bye.

On the surface a crap result but would anyone be shocked if Carlton lost their next 3? Weitering is carrying a tempur mattress on his thigh, is completely cooked.

Not getting in front of them. We are relying on Port and Essendope

Carlton will be instantly better with McKay back next week. They'd have won with him probably comfortably.

They will win more than they lose from here... Port and Essendope are the 2 that need to lose

Port will still struggle to win another game

Yeah not sure about that. They play a banged up Sydney at home next game with a 2 day recovery head start. Sydney will be even more banged up after our match on Sunday. Port can win that win game. Their midfield is among the competition's best. I think they make the 8.

Well we might as well give up then because Port was our best shot in ..

I wouldn't be giving up. We can afford to lose 1 more game from this point on and we will still make finals for sure (14 wins guarantees us finals on points and percentage). If we lose 2 games it's out of our control.

Beat Sydney tomorrow and we could lose to one of GWS or Melbourne and it won't hurt us in terms of making the 8. It would hurt us in terms of our finals draw and who and where we play. Lose to Sydney tomorrow and then we can't afford to lose another game or else we're relying on other teams to stuff up.

 

[NagoyaDog]

God they're shit

Tragic club

 

[Dogs Rule]

Honestly, I'm as pessimistic as the next person, but you take it to the next level. I get it, but go outside and touch some grass or be something. It's a game.

I was joking ...

 

[Charlie Bucket]

It’s hard to believe we could miss finals with 13 wins and the percentage we have.

Is it really a 50/50 with that finish? I can’t be f***ed looking over other teams fixtures.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

GWS and Dees are both 8 pt games.

The two most important of the remaining rounds.

 

[Next Waiting]

GWS and Dees are both 8 pt games.

The two most important of the remaining rounds.

The most important thing today is that they have a brutally physical, energy sapping encounter in atrocious conditions against each other tonight.

The weather Dog hath smiled upon us and delivered them less than ideal conditions at the G.

 

[grassman75]

Port 3rd is hilarious... they're absolute trash

Perfectly placing themselves for another sub par finals series under Ken

 

[grassman75]

Commentators really drumming up the sympathy for Carlton and their 5 day break.

Will we get the same next week?

Absolutely critical that we beat Sydney now

 

[grassman75]

Injuries clearly did play a big factor tonight. Carlton had no one to kick to with Curnow double teamed and McKay/TDK sidelined.

Lewis Young is a massive spud. Very glad he’s off our list.

But Bevo didn’t give him a chance…..

Say what you will about him but in reality he (and the list management team) haven’t got many wrong so far with players they’ve let go

 

[Testekill]

It floated out and then landed in. What are the rules on that one?

Not out until it or a person catching it hits the ground.

Lippa is really the main wantaway guy who has grown as a player and even then he still shows all the time why we were happy to let him go.

Dees winning with Briggs beating the absolute living shit out of Gawn should be on our bingo cards tonight. Giants having the Dees, Hawks, Dockers and us now looms as the big chance to overtake someone should we slip up. Regardless we just need to keep winning.

Port, GWS, Essendope are the ones.

 

[JTCWBFC]

North will make it happen today for us

Even if they did Geelong has an easy run

 

[Next Waiting]

Port, GWS, Essendope are the ones.

And Hawks. Their match against GWS next week is pretty significant.
